Type of a scam Other

I was contacted by one lady by name Lindsey Bownan with a job offer as an independent quality inspector tranquility insurance. Started working with them sept 20th. First ships a package to my address then emails me tracking details. My job was to receive packages that were shipped to my address, inspect the condition of the item and factory label then email her with the results. She in turn emails me a prepaid shipping label with which i then use to email the package and then send her the tracking details. I was suppose to be on probation for a month $3200 pretax and then based on my performance i will be hired full time. I received and reshipped about 10 packages over 4 week period. The fourth week she sent just one package to be shipped. When i didn’t hear from her about my pay i sent her two emails to find out what was going; last email sent today, no response which is unlike her because she responded promptly to the emailsi sent while handling the packages.

Type of a scam Employment

I received an email from someone named Norma Alvarez,on August 2,2019, stating that they found my resume on the job board, and they have an opportunity available. The opportunity was a work at home position, where you receive packages, inspect them, take photos, and then ship them to the client. They provided all the tracking information, and labels needed to ship the packages. That email, from Norma, referenced the requirements, duties and responsibilities, and general information about the job. Then I received another email from there HR department on August 6,2019, and a person named Jeremy Larson claimed to be the HR manager. This email was to follow up with the Independent Quality Inspector position in detail and what to expect, and to send me their company’s information. I responded, stating that I am interested in the position, and asked a few questions. Then I received an email from Lindsey Bownan on Auguat 7,2019, claiming she is the head of the HR department. She sent me the contract, and instructions on what was needed in order to perform the job. I sent back the contract by email on August 12,2019. As of August 12,2019, I thought I as an employee of Tranquility Insurance. At this point, Lindsey sent me a detailed email regarding how to perform the job, and the information they needed about the packages. From August 15 to September 16th, I have inspected roughly 13 packages. At the time when I was suppose to get paid, I never received anything. Lindsey promised I would receive payment on September 14th, and then the 16th, and now the 17th. I spent money driving to obtain the packages and send them out. When I attempted to contact the company, I received no response by phone nor by email. This is a fraudulent, deceiving, and cheating company.
